I still think the coaches have a ways to go in regards to in game decisions, playcalling, etc. but I have been pleasantly surprised with how we have competed with how many underclassmen we have playing heavy snaps. The recruiting already seems lightyears ahead of what Carey was able to do as far as bringing talent to campus, and unlike Kill/Doeren it seems like we might have coaching stability.

It's easy to forget how incredibly young they are. I wasn't around for the early Novak days, but it's far and away the youngest team they've had since I began watching. They lost their second year freshman running back with an injury and he's been replaced by a first year freshman and another second year freshman.

There's no reason to be anything but thrilled about the future right now.
